Suppose that, for reasons tied to the software your team uses to process incoming data, you only have access to 6 unique digits: 2-7. Are you able to assign a unique code to each individual receiving the survey?
As a member of the campaign team for a mayoral candidate in Raleigh, your job is to gather data on the public perception of your candidate for the purpose of making informed decisions related to the campaign. More specifically, you plan to send out a survey (collecting information on race, religion, gender identity, age bracket, income level, education level, party affiliation, intention to vote for your candidate, etc.) to 4,000 Raleigh citizens in hopes of receiving at least 1,000 responses.
In order to keep the responses anonymous, you plan to assign a 5-character code to each individual who receives a survey. In doing so, survey responses will be tied to codes rather than names, ensuring that the data collected is done akin to a blind study.
